The Church launched its international Christmas campaign #LightTheWorld on 26 November 2017. The goal of the global Church initiative is to inspire individuals, families, and youth groups to be a light of the world by emulating the Savior’s example of service through scriptures. Let us take part in this campaign from 01 - 25 December. Click here for the list of suggested activities using the advent calendar.

We have many worthy men in the Philippines who hold the Melchizedek priesthood, who use that priesthood to bless their families, and who magnify their callings in that priesthood. But we need more such men, men who realize that they were in fact “called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, on account of their exceeding faith and good works” to receive the Melchizedek in this life and help build His kingdom in the Philippines. (Alma 13:3) We need more men who hold the Melchizedek priesthood to increase in their effort to magnify their callings through personal righteousness and service.

The promise that [the Lord will] “remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and [will] bring forth [His] word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth” has come to pass as the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines gathered to witness the creation of the 100th stake in the country.

The ultimate end of Temple and Family History work is to vicariously provide the saving ordinances of the temple to all of our ancestors who have gone before us and who have prepared the way so that we can be where we are today. Our families need us, and we need them.

In this generation, the Lord expects each able young man to be worthy and prepare for missionary service. We know there are some who are honorably excused from service due to health or other reasons. To each of you that cannot serve in a full-time capacity, the Lord loves you as we do and we know that compensating blessings will be yours as you worthily serve the Lord in any capacity that fits your circumstances. The Lord also invites young women to serve, when they feel prompted. He knows that young women are equally capable of performing miracles in his name.
